that 3 trillion that WE DID NOT SPEND on the Iraq war (Iraq war was less than 1 trillion) would last 6 years.....well below 50

And when will it be free?

If Bernie had won the nomination, anyone think Congress would have played ball?

It does no matter what comes out of a nominee's mouth. Congress has to act and fund.

Its never going to be free if that is the attitude you go in with. Just support whichever candidate aligns most with the big money donor class and puppets in Congress?

Maybe not enough puppets in Congress would have played ball, but tuition free public colleges has huge support among the PEOPLE, you know those who the politicians are supposed to serve. The bully pulpit would have been effective to some degree to force Congress to move and the ones that refused to serve the people could be chucked out of office.

She is not in anyone's pocket, so of course she will be slandered as a communist by the supporters of various puppets of the billionaire class. Thats completely natural.

Nonsense. The total cost of the Iraq war will be well in excess of $3 trillion (costs are ongoing). Tuition free public college will cost $70 billion per year. A drop in the bucket compared to the massive outlays YOU pay to the donor class you support. Wars, bailouts, no-bid government contracts, corporate welfare, the list is endless.

Oh my, look at the corporate money she is receiving.

And she even gets money from defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

Wow, Mike you appear to be a sellout voting for corporate shills.

And?

I don't want my tax dollars going to these stupid wars.

Just because my tax dollars are wasted on a war doesn't mean I should receive a tuition bill for the rest of my life.

To a right-winger anyone to the left of George Bush is a communist including Clinton and Obama. I'm not a fan of either but I wouldn't call either of them communist. Both are die hard Wall Street capitalists. There is nothing socialist or communist about Hillary or Barack yet every conservative pundit out there labels them as a commie lmao. No sane person can take the GOP seriously.
